Dear Friends
Greetings and good wishes to you from BASS, India
Thank you so much for your kind donation support to this project to give a healthy meal to the elderly people in a largest Chandra Rajeswara Rao Nagar slum in Guntur, India
During BASS Covid Relief activities in 2020 in the slums of Guntur identified the misery of the neglected vulnerable elderly people who are at high risk of starvation. Therefore, BASS has started a daily meal supply program to the elderly people from 1st July 2020 at Chandra Rajeswara Rao Nagar slum.
Vijaya, cook cum care taker of the program preparing daily meals to the 30 elderly people in this slum and successfully continuing. The food contains great amounts of nutrients for good immunity boosters to the people, daily elderly people visiting the cooking centre and getting daily food either can eat there or take off to their house to eat later. Now in this emergency second wave, we are distributing meals for the elderly to their houses to have at least one good health meal per a day.
Checking the health conditions of the 30 elderly people with our medical certified nurse and giving needed medicines. Our volunteers are also educating the elderly to protect from corona virus and prevention methods.
We are also giving blankets to the elderly people since they are very poor and neglected.
Very happy to share that all the 30 neglected aged people are much better currently with health food and medical care. Again, the Covid second wave is disturbing the lives of people especially elderly again due to all the works being closed since April 2021. So everyone is short of income and not able to have enough food for their families and left the elderly people. As such we have also identified 30 more neglected elderly in the slums of Vijayawada and wish to start a second centre very soon.
But we are not able to get enough support. 30 elderly people need at least US500 per month to have the best meal.
I request you to kindly support this project's monthly recurring donation option, so that we continue to give a meal to the elderly people in need.
Thank you once again
With gratitude
